>The 10 Stages to Web-use Nirvana
>http://www.ozline.com/learning/10stages.html
>After years of experimentation, trial and error, and some success, Tom
>March has identified 10 key stages that can help educators work the Web for
>Education. The stages begin with an emphasis on teachers finding their own
>personal value, then move into early classroom applications of the Web
>before suggesting how to facilitate critical thinking through WebQuests and
>coaching. This Web page can be used by in-service providers to help mesh
>with learner readiness or by individuals as a tool for self evaluation. The
>entire article is available online at the MultiMedia Schools magazine
>Website and provides more of the rationale behind the stages.

>Created by Poway High School teachers Dennis Moore, Jenny Thiem, and Perry
>Minamide, this interdiscplinary WebQuest does an excellent job of staying
>focused on such big questions as: "Under what conditions would you serve
>your country to fight a war? When is war worth its costs?" Taking on the
>roles of nurse, statesman, poet, statistician, and conscientious objector,
>students integrate current resources like core novels and and motion
>pictures as they use the Web to add to their knowledge and to communicate
>their final opinions to others around the world. This is a fine model for
>how a WebQuest can enhance the current curriculum.
